Exam 2

Wednesday 10/16
2-2:50pm
UTC 2.102A


What we provide on Exams We will provide all students with:

  • the Exam
    • cover page with periodic table and all necessary conversion factors and constants
    • actual exam - 20 multiple choice questions
  • an answer sheet - aka: bubblesheet

The cover page with the periodic table will be very similar to the one available in the Appendix of the ChemBook website (Chapter 10).

Coverage: Exam 2 covers all the material that was covered on HW's 03 and 04. ChemBook Chapters: The exam covers all of Chapter 3 and sections 1-4 in Chapter 4. Topics are EM radiation, atomic theory, electron configurations, nomenclature, ionic bonding and compounds, periodic table trends, and covalent bonding and compounds.

Questions: The exam will have somewhere around 20 to 25 multiple choice questions. This means that each question is worth 5 points. We might decide to push that ±1 point for a few questions - meaning 4 and 6 points for a handful of questions. The point values are included with all questions so you'll see the points. We will only grade you by what is bubbled in on the answer sheet that you turn in. We will not look at your exam copy for answers, nor consider them in any way. Bubble carefully and correctly.

Bring the Following to the Exam

  • UT ID Card / picture ID
  • a pencil(s) - mechanical or wood
  • scanner only reads pencil - no ink!
  • bring eraser if you are prone to mistakes
  • bring a non-programmable, non-graphing, scientific calculator
  • we provide the rest - see previous section

DO NOT bring...

  • ink pens
  • graphing calculator
  • any type of programmable calculator
  • electronic devices - phones, earbuds, etc...
  • smart watches - put away that smart watch!

Learning Outcomes for Exam 2

Students will know...

  1. what electromagnetic radiation is and how we chunk it up into seven regions
  2. the order of the regions of EM radiation from highest to lowest
  3. the order of the colors of the visible spectrum and the two wavelengths we use to define it
  4. how matter interacts with each region of the EM spectrum
  5. the names and rules for the four quantum numbers that describe electrons within atoms
  6. how to write the electron configuration for any element on the periodic table
  7. how to write the electron configuration for any monatomic ion
  8. how to correctly name, and write the full formula for polyatomic ions ("shortlist" in section 4.01)
  9. how to name cations and anions (including polyatomic ions) and ionic compounds (salts)
  10. the general trends we covered on the periodic table: atomic radii, monatomic ion radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity
  11. how to identify and name simple covalent compounds
  12. how to distinguish between ionic bonds, perfectly covalent bonds, and polar covalent bonds
  13. what the determining factor is to have a polar molecule
  14. anything I covered, talked about in class, that I forgot to list here
